Simply the best Electric ShaverPanasonic keeps improving it’s Arc 5 series and this is by far their finest work so far. A real rolls-royce of electric shavers! It has fastest / most powerful motor that just mows any hair that gets in its way. Thinnest foils in the industry combined with those nano blades ensure blade close shaving, for real! The new flex head is fantastic and ensures shaver sticks to the skin in any direction - very comfortable.
And to top it all, this is the best looking electric shaver in the market, with metal body construction and most advanced LED screen.
Auto-lock is a new feature not explicitly listed here - basically travel lock is engaged automatically 60s after not holding a shaver in your hands. This means you can just chuck your shaver into your bag.
And this is where the only real ‘downside’ is for me - the travel case is still a soft pouch unlike in Japanese version which comes with a premium hard leather case. For this price, I expected Panasonic to include premium case as well. This obviously doesn’t impact shaving in any way obviously, but next to everything else being so premium the soft case feels a bit cheap. Have already ordered a hard case online though.
Cleaning station is standardly useful and it is great Panasonic allows you to select a dry only mode, i.e. not forcing you to engage a full clean cycle. This is very useful since manually cleaning Panasonic shavers has always been very easy - i.e. easiest of all electric shavers in the market, and this is will also make the cleaning fluid last much longer / economical.
